The first “Dickens of a Christmas” was held on the Market Place on 10th December 1995, since when it has grown from strength to strength each year. In addition to the market stallholders on the Market Place, the Farmers Market is now held at the other end of the town on the Castle Public House Car Park.

Newport Pagnell and Olney Lions Club are major contributors to the Dickens of a Christmas event when they run their major fund raising activity, which takes the form of a Craft Fayre. Located in three venues, the event brings together over 80 crafts people from around the town and further afield. Events are also held in the Church Hall and an exhibition in the Cowper and Newton Museum on the Market Place.

Its all there; entertainers, attractions for families, Father Christmas in his Grotto, food, drinks and lots of humour and laughter. Olney has now developed a great reputation for its “Dicken’s of a Christmas” and people travel many miles to take part in the day. This year Dickens of a Christmas will be on Sunday 6th December 2009, starting at 10.00 a.m. and finishing at 4.30 p.m.
